Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

"Then everyone, take your time to eat. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

After completely turning Hua Yunhong's show-off into a clownish act, Qin Ming turned around and left.

They weren't even given a chance to rebut.

This made Hua Yunhong and Mei Youcai even more angry.

But looking at the guards following behind him, they were eating with relish.

The two of them could only grit their teeth and swallow their anger.

After Qin Ming left, Hua Yunhong waved his sleeves and walked into the room.

Seeing this, Mei Youcai hurriedly followed.

When I entered the room, Hua Yunhong was sitting at the desk, his face ashen with anger.

"This bastard has been ready to laugh at us for a long time, and today we've fallen into his trap!"

Before coming, they didn't know much about Daqian.

It takes several months to make a trip, and their means of intelligence transmission and travel speed may not be as fast as Daqian.

Hua Yunhong, who arrived directly, didn't even know the advanced technology in Qin Ming's hands.

Until now, they still think that their Shenmu Kingdom is the best in the world.

The reason I lost to Qin Ming today was simply because the opponent caught me off guard.

Mei Youcai obviously thought the same thing. He quickly came to Hua Yunhong and comforted him:

"Your Majesty, Qin Ming is also a mean person. He is arrogant just because he has something slightly better than us."

"You don't have to be angry. Communication is only one aspect of warfare. Our Torrential Pear Blossom Needles are the real killer weapons on the battlefield. If we can use them at tomorrow's banquet..."

Having said that, he looked up at Hua Yunhong.

As expected, Hua Yunhong's expression also became better at this moment.

"The Torrential Pear Blossom Needle is the top weapon of our Shenmu Kingdom. It is naturally enough to crush them, but there is no need to take it out first."

Hua Yunhong's eyes flickered, and a look of resentment emerged.

"I want him to know what the pinnacle of mechanical engineering is!"

"Your Highness is wise. If Qin Ming saw the technology of our Shenmu Kingdom, he would definitely beg to become our vassal state!"

Mei Youcai quickly responded.

This time they came with many cutting-edge mechanical engineering techniques!

I don’t believe that I can’t even subdue a little Qin Ming!

On the other side, in the back garden of the imperial palace, Qin Ming was sitting in the pavilion, with Wu Shizhong and several craftsmen sitting beside him.

"Your Majesty, these are all veterans. I've brought almost everything I can. Do you have any instructions?"

Wu Shizhong received news today that Qin Ming asked him to select several capable craftsmen from the workshop, preferably those who are proficient in mechanical engineering.

Qin Ming said in a deep voice:

"Have you ever heard of the mechanical technology of the Shenmu Kingdom?"

Several craftsmen exchanged glances.

One of the craftsmen, an older one named Xu Jiangcai, came over from behind. He was the master of mechanical engineering in the workshop.

"Your Majesty, the mechanical arts of the Shenmu Kingdom are extremely powerful. Some of their designs are so complex that we haven't even been able to replicate them until now."

"What if I could let you see it with your own eyes?"

"what?!"

These words made everyone present feel agitated.

They are all people who have studied technology for most of their lives.

Everyone was extremely excited when they heard that there was such an opportunity to observe.

Qin Ming said:

"Tomorrow I will host a banquet. During the banquet, a group of envoys from the Shenmu Kingdom will demonstrate their mechanical engineering. You can take this opportunity to observe and see their mechanical engineering works up close."

“It would be best if you could write it down.”

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, we will definitely take note of it!"

Everyone rubbed their hands and nodded in anticipation.

"Okay, go back and have a good rest. Come back tomorrow to observe with full energy. Wu Shizhong will stay."

"Yes!"

Everyone left, leaving only Wu Shizhong and Qin Ming.

"Your Majesty is wise. Today's series of provocations are actually intended to expose their mechanical devices!"

Wu Shizhong has figured out why Qin Ming was so arrogant today, contrary to his usual behavior.

Not only at the train station, but even after returning to the palace, he went to seek out provocations from others.

It turns out that the purpose was not only to dampen their arrogance, but also to allow them to show Daqian their best assets.

"A homemade telephone is nothing. I want to see how advanced their technology is."

"Tomorrow, arrange for a few people to hide in the beams of the banquet hall. Have them take shorthand notes of these mechanisms from multiple angles. Write down as much as you can."

Although modern science and technology have overwhelming advantages in this era.

However, many technical difficulties, such as materials, are difficult to overcome.

At this time, it is necessary to rely on some technologies of this era, such as some advanced mechanical techniques, which can bring great help to Qin Ming.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I'll get ready now."

Wu Shizhong naturally knew what Qin Ming was thinking, so he immediately nodded seriously and took charge of the matter.

In the blink of an eye, it was the second day.

Early that morning, Chef Yi brought several carts of top-quality ingredients from outside the palace into the imperial kitchen, and told the helpers in the kitchen to start preparing them.

Because it was a celebration of the great victory in the north, not only officials from the court, but even some royal families in the surrounding areas, as well as envoys from countries such as the Western Regions and Western Shu, were invited by Qin Ming.

The entire palace was extremely lively, with thousands of guests coming here alone.

Everyone appears to be cheerful on the surface, but actually there are undercurrents.

Everyone who enters here has paid more or less attention to the conflict between Qin Ming and the Shenmu Kingdom in recent days.

"Have you heard? It seems the envoy from the Shenmu Kingdom is coming."

"Your Majesty just captured one of their envoys in the north, and now these people are coming again. It feels a bit awkward."

"I also received news that the envoys from the Shenmu Kingdom are here to recapture Daqian!"

"Are you kidding me, old man? Even if you're just trying to be funny, you can't talk nonsense like that!"

Officials in Daqian were talking about it.

The envoys from surrounding countries also had their own ulterior motives.

This time they came here completely obediently. Those who originally had some usurping ideas about Daqian became discouraged after learning that Qin Ming had ended the northern war in less than two months.

"Your Majesty has arrived!!"

At this moment, Qin Ming appeared outside the hall.

Before the ministers present could come forward.

The envoys from several neighboring countries who were sitting around ran faster than rabbits, crowded in front of him and greeted him flatteringly.

"Your Majesty, I am an envoy from the Great Yuezhi of the Western Regions. This is a gift from our king, and he insisted that I personally deliver it to you."

The envoy of Dayuezhi smiled apologetically and handed Qin Ming a box very solemnly.

Qin Ming raised his eyebrows.

"Thousand-year-old ice silkworm?"

"Yes, I heard you wanted this before. Our king has been searching for it for over a year and finally got another one!"

The other party spoke quickly.

The envoys from the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions who were originally preparing to send him gifts suddenly glared at him with resentment on their faces.
